An interrupted timeline is defined as which of the following?

• A. -1 through -60, GAP, +60 through +1
• B. -1 through -15, GAP, +15 through +1
• C. -1 through -10, GAP, +10 through +1
• D. -1 through -30, GAP, +30 through +1

Answer: (D)

An interrupted timeline shows time on both sides of a disruption, but there’s a blank gap at the moment of interruption. The numbers indicate how far back and forward you’re looking from that interruption, with the interruption moment itself omitted (the gap).

The standard representation uses a symmetric 30-unit window on each side, so you list from -1 down to -30 before the interruption, then a GAP, then from +30 down to +1 after the interruption. This captures near-term past and future around the disruption without including the exact interruption moment.

Other options don’t fit because they either extend the window unevenly on one side or use a shorter horizon, which isn’t consistent with the typical interrupted timeline format.
